Foochow Red Rice Wine Mee Sua Soup 福州红糟酒面线

Special Thanks to my blogger friend May who brought me this Foochow red rice wine and Mee Sua (thin and salted rice noodles), so we have a chance to try this authentic Foochow Ang Jiu Mee Sua at home. Foochow peoples especially like to cook this Ang Jiu Mee Sua during confinement time (after delivered baby) . And every Foochow grandmother also know how to make this red rice wine at home.

The Foochow red rice wine was homemade by May's mother and Mee Sua was bought from May's hometown Sitiawan ( a place mostly Foochow peoples) .

When I was cooking this soup, the nice ginger and sesame aroma remind me of my confinement time !!

Add in Foochow rice wine and water, bring to boil. Reduce
heat to medium, continue to cook for about 30mins. Add in the seasoning,
do not over season with salt as Mee Sua also tasted salty.

To serve by individual serving, cook Mee Sua in hot
boiling water for less than 1min then put into a serving bowl. Pour the
cooked Foochow red wine chicken soup into the serving bowl. Sprinkle some
chopped coriander, serve hot.

Hi Sonia, Love your website. Living in Melbourne, there's no chance to taste this dish without actually make the red rice wine to begin with. Any chance you or your friend could share the art of making the red ice wine at home?
